Opening Excel in separate window

#1 Post by diyb » 17 Sep 2014 12:06

I like using Excel on multiple screens but the only thing is that in order to do that I have to do a regedit. Now when windows updates run it resets the regedit back to before the process. http://dottech.org/26491/how-to-force-m ... -to-guide/ These are the steps for the process. I am having issues to get my batch file commands to modify the entries. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just use the command line switch /E to start excel instead. You can either do that with a shortcut on your desktop or from a batch file.

Batch file

Code: Select all

start "Excel" /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12" "excel.exe" /e
